GET A SITTER: HIGH WATTAGE A lifer and legend, Mike Watt is the very definition of rock and roll to some listeners. His work in the Minutemen inspired a generation of rebels and punks; his subsequent bands Dos and Firehose rounded out his persona, as has more experimental solo work. Watt will bring his Jom and Terry Show backing band to a date Sunday at Rose Music Hall. Local acts John Galbraith Trio and Saint Gnome share the bill. 9 p.m.; $13 to $15. www.rosemusichall.com.
